White sweet potatoes are not a nightshade.

However white potatoes are a nightshade.

Other nightshade vegetables are potatoes, eggplant, peppers which include bell peppers and hot peppers are all nightshades.

But white sweet potatoes are not nightshades.

White Sweet Potatoes are mostly known as Brinkley White Sweet Potatoes but sometimes white sweet potatoes are known as Boniato Sweet Potatoes.

White Sweet Potatoes taste slightly different than orange sweet potatoes do.

But the taste difference between regular sweet potatoes and white sweet potatoes is not all that much different.

The white sweet potatoes have a slightly milder taste to them than the regular sweet potatoes do.

White sweet potatoes have a slightly milder, savory and smooth taste to them.

White sweet potatoes are healthier than regular potatoes or regular sweet potatoes are.

White sweet potatoes contain more nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants so when you eat white sweet potatoes over the other sweet potatoes or regular potatoes you're eating healthier.

But both white sweet potatoes and other sweet potatoes are healthy as well.

Even regular potatoes are still healthy for you so you should eat all types of potatoes to stay healthy and get the most health benefits.

The regular White potatoes are healthier than sweet potatoes because the regular white potatoes contain more potassium than sweet potatoes.

Sweet Potatoes and  regular White Potatoes are both healthy and provide the same amount of nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc.

So by eating either sweet potatoes or white potatoes or regular potatoes you still get all the health benefits.

But when it comes to which one is healthier of the two types of potatoes the healthiest of the potatoes are the regular white potatoes.
